How is it (or rather smart phones in general) not? It's at least as world changing as the internet itself.
Being able to access nearly any piece of human knowledge whether I'm standing in line at the grocery store or out camping in the woods is pretty fucking amazing to me.
A teacher of mine who was left-handed told me that when she was girl in Catholic school attempting to write with her left hand would earn her a slap on the hand from a nun's ruler. They forced her to write with her right hand because using the left one was "wrong and unnatural". It just seemed similar.

Go to . If it just shows a normal IPv4 address, then you don't have it.
Nope.
The security you are thinking of is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateful_firewall, which is a side effect of NAT but can be implemented independently of NAT.
Um, a pending past?
At those speeds, why would you need to store anything locally?
This reminds me that I need to re-read Ringworld
" thats the funniest thing i will ever read in a million years"
Well, yeah. You certainly won't live to be a million.
"16MB (fuck off, MiB fascists)"
So is that 16,000,000 bytes or 16,777,216 bytes?

I just emailed CmdrTaco asking when slashdot would be accessible over IPv6. He said he didn't know.

Fixed that for you
I didn't realize the Itanium was still being produced. I thought they shut it down years ago.
Hahahahaha. Oh wow.

I wish that you could see the intensity with which I just rolled my eyes while reading your comment.
I'm sure the Zombie cartels will help keep the market steady.
Oops, I wasn't thinking about the corporate side of computer systems.
I work at an ISP/computer repair shop so we deal with a lot of home computers which aren't as amenable to the imaging solution.
You mean:
The purpose of it is to ensure that it will still come backup after an accidental reboot. (power outage, etc)
How would rebooting a second machine tell you if the first machine would come back up after a reboot?
Maybe (hopefully?) fewer things would be produced, but the things that do get produced would be of higher quality.
I build mesh networks for a living and for fun (use meraki at work, open-mesh at home) and I have not seen the horrible performance you've described.
That's assuming the whole mesh network is fed with only one uplink. Add a few more in various places and performance will improve.
open-mesh.com uses code built from http://www.open-mesh.org/ which is an open project.
What I like about open-mesh.com is that they have 802.11n mesh units for cheap and a fairly usable dashboard to control it all.
Here you go

But they ARE monsters!
Why, they are just as bad as left-handed people.
